Myself and Roxanna are having a couple of days away this weekend for the first time in 4 years. We have come down to Paignton with one of my sons, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter. We are staying in a caravan in a holiday park. We came down straight from work yesterday, Saturday. We are coming back home on Monday afternoon. We have come down here mainly because for his 10th birthday back in May as one of his presents he adopted a red panda which is in Paignton Zoo. He has a real thing about red pandas lol. So today, Sunday, we went to the zoo. It has been a nice day. We did get to see the panda that he adopted and his name on the adoption board.

When we got back to the caravan we went for a walk down to the beach.

We picked up a few shells for the grandchildren and also found a few scallop shells. All but one had live scallops in them so left them where they were.

Enjoy mate, it's good to see you both having a rest. It looks like a relaxing place.

Yes mate. We did come down this way a few times before COVID. This is the first time since. We have stayed at premier inns at Seaton, Exmouth along with Paignton. We like to go to Brixham as well. We can get down here in a couple of hours. So can come down after shutting the shop on a Saturday afternoon.
